Install a binary package

With DOCA-host

Libxlio is included in the DOCA-host binary distribution. To install please refer to our installation guide in XLIO main page and follow the provided instructions.

With the package manager

To install libxlio using the default package managers for different Linux distributions, you can follow these steps:

For Debian-based distributions (e.g., Ubuntu):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libxlio

For Red Hat-based distributions (e.g., CentOS, Fedora):

sudo yum install libxlio

For distributions that use DNF (e.g., Fedora):

sudo dnf install libxlio

📝 Note: The libxlio package availability depends on the package manager mirrors configured on your system.

With binary package

For distributions that use dpkg (e.g., Debian):

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/libxlio.deb

Please note that you may need administrative privileges (use sudo) to install packages system-wide. Replace /path/to/libxlio.deb with the actual path to the libxlio package file if you are using dpkg to install.

For RPM-based distributions (e.g., CentOS, Fedora):

sudo rpm -ivh /path/to/libxlio.rpm

Replace /path/to/libxlio.rpm with the actual path to the libxlio RPM package file. The -ivh flags are used to install the package with verbose output (v), show progress (h), and install it or upgrade it if already installed (i).
